Xpert Learning is SkillSoft's Europe Middle East and Africa Partner of the Year for 2006

"This is the highest award we have for our partner network," explains Tim Walker, the SkillSoft channel director for EMEA, "so for Xpert Learning to win it again is really exceptional."

"The award has meant so much more to us this year," says Paul Gledhill, Co-founder and Director of Xpert Learning. "The competition was incredibly close and SkillSoft has many excellent partners especially this year in Europe where they have had sensational results for 2006."

Some of the key criterion for the award includes customer service and support, PR and marketing initiatives and percentage of increased sales revenue.

"It is always nice to get recognition for the hard work the Xpert Learning team has put in throughout last year," stated Janine Croft, Managing Director of Xpert Learning. "Our customers have been tremendous and deserve a mention as we accept this accolade."

Riham Khoury, e-learning consultant and new recruit at Xpert Learning explained, "There is a real buzz and interest in the learning and technologies industry in our region." More and more organisations look to enhance the development and performance of their employees through online and technical delivery methodology. I hope we, at Xpert Learning, can continue to demystify this learning modality to help local and international business in the Middle East benefit.
